The “ezer” of your being is definitive of the strength of the Lord planted in you, not solely as a “helpmate.” You will reveal that strength in humble service, as all of His children are called to – and this will be toward men and women.

You are no more open to deception, or to lead the Body astray than anyone else, man or woman. All flesh fell. All flesh is born into deception. Gloriously, all flesh is redeemed. Further, in Christ, there is no more flesh, neither male nor female – only His Life and Body.

You are never responsible for a man’s eyes. Those are his. Your beauty has been sealed from the womb, where you were perfectly and wonderfully made. God fashioned a masterpiece in you. You will live out of an otherworldly confidence in that truth – and it will be captivating. He, in you, will be captivating. Yes, men and women will be attracted to you. What they love, is Jesus in you. Keep showing them Him. Wear His robe and be His aroma. He will sort out their eyes and hearts.

You are responsible for hearts – of men and women. Handle them correctly. Love them deeply, passionately, equally. Look for the Jesus in them, not merely the man or woman they are, or could be.

If God has marriage for you, submission to your husband is responding to the Lord’s Love in your life – and serving your husband from that place of Love. He will love you as Christ loves His Bride – to death. Therefore,submission will be mutual and equal in your unity of oneness. You are not under him. He is not under you. You are One – under Christ. You will love and serve one another – and leave the protecting, providing, comforting and nurturing up to God.

God has seeded a dream in your husband too. You are a part of that dream. His dream is not complete and cannot be achieved without you. Your dream is not complete and cannot be achieved without him. Your dream is his; and his is yours – and together you share One dream.

Your work and “roles” will be what the Lord calls you to. For you, it could be ministering to Him in your home. Or, a corporate boardroom. Or both. If your husband is called to follow Jesus by doing dishes and laundry and staying at home with the kids – he will be more than a man. You are both equal Priests in the Kingdom, and in your home – no matter what culture says your “roles” are, biblically or otherwise.

Holy Spirit has given you amazing gifts. You bear incredible fruit. Your gifts are no less powerful or important or authoritative as any man’s or woman’s. They are unique, invaluable, and critical to the Body as a whole. The fruit of your life is not for other women and children only – it is for the mutual benefit and edification of all of God’s people – man and woman.

God may call you to teach. If so, teach whomever He places at your feet – woman, child… man. God may call you to pastor. If so, shepherd His flock with service – especially that outside of the “children’s ministry,” kitchen, potlucks and the coffee bar. God may call you to evangelize. If so, go to the other side of the world, and the other side of the street – and know He goes with you. God may call you to prophesy. If so, proclaim the word of the Lord in boldness and truth – let he (or her) who has ears hear. God may call you to apostolic ministry. If so, clear the path, build the bridge, make a way for His change to come behind you – generations of mankind following your path – as you follow Him.

You are not under the covering or authority of any man, or woman. You are under the authority of Christ. Submit to Him and Live out of a posture of worship to His Lordship – and “authority” will be made plain everywhere you go.

The Church is His. He is the Leader. We are all followers, man and woman. No one has the right to “lead.” By following Him – you will be “leading” – and showing men and women how to follow too.

Father doesn’t prefer His Sons. His Daughters are not inferior to them. You have equal place at His table, in His Kingdom – with all of His Children. Father dreams of you, and dreams for you. When He is your dream too, you will Live and move and find your being in the reality of that dream.

You are my daughter on earth – but in the heavenlies, now – you are my Sister in Christ. As I see your life lived under the authority of Jesus, I submit to you in mutual and equal service, humility and love. Thank you for showing me more of my Lord.

I dream to live so as you always see Him in me.

I love you. I am proud of you. I thank our Daddy for you – and for the consummation of His dream of the world, life and Church you will see.
